Its just me again
Okay this sounds dumb..but I have my appointment with my bariatric nurse on Thursday and I don't have anyone to go with me, I don't know why I am so scared about going by myself but I am.
Today I went and had my blood taken for a cholestrol test and a to see where my blood sugars are at....we will see what they say about that.
I am just a wreck today..I don't know why. I work today at 3 and I don't want to go...I just don't know why I feel like this today. Maybe I am nervous that healthPartners isn't going to cover my surgery, or the doctors say that I don't need the surgery.....I hate all this!!!!
Sorry for complaining

I hope everything goes well...For some reason I am really scared...What do they ask at the appointment with the bariatric nurse?? what do I need to bring?? I just want everything to go good so I will not be as scared ya know??
I was also very impressed with Dr. Rupp at the informational meeting...I said to my friend (yep same friend that is coming to all my appointments) that Dr. Rupp just has to be my doctor I just had just a connection from that meeting with him, like I knew I should have surgery with him and not Dr. Kelly...does that make any sense??? My inner self was talking...or God was giving me a little message...either way I think that is who I should go with, he just seems so nice and caring and stuff ya know??

I think you should go with your gut - if you just plain felt good with Dr. Rupp, that speaks loudly. Although as suggested earlier, it couldn't hurt to see what other programs/surgeons have to offer you, if your insurance doesn't limit you.
As for your appointment? I don't think you need to prep for it, aside from having all of YOUR questions written down! You want answers. They aren't going to quiz you about anything you aren't already very aware of - your own health and lifestyle, probably. Just take a deep breath, bring YOUR questions and concerns, and continue to listen to your inner self. It'll rarely steer you wrong.
My personal belief is that if this is right for you at this time, you'll see the signs. If there are red flags? You'll see them, too. For me, when I started my WLS journey, it was almost freaky how smoothly everything fell into place - from getting in quickly on my appointments because of someone else's cancellation, to hitting all green lights every time I drove to an appointment or support group, it was just Karma.

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Okay then I will just take a deep breath and go on with it...I am trying to stay busy..ya right. I am just wanting this done now...I tend to get all freaky when I have to wait..lol. My BMI right now is like 37 or 38 and I have a load of probelms including: Degenerative disc diseaase in my back, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, urinary incontince, bad knee (osteoarthitis), and asthma. I don't know what tests will be required and that also freaks me out. I really want karma on my side!!!

the thing I do when I get myself ALL worked up about things if to just remember. That somethings are best if left in Gods hands. God doesn't give us anything that we can not handle. If we hold onto part of the worry, then we are not trusting him to handle things. Let go and let God.
Works for me.
